THE KEY west CITT SOCLETY... PERSONALS... NEWS OF INTEREST TO WOMEN ITEMS OF INTEREST TO EVERYONE They Worked Diligently Page # DOROTHY RAYMER, Soc iZEN Friday, August 22, 1952 iety Editor Si0P HOPPING JAXON If you expect to learn much from the Rexall Almanac today, you'd better look somewhere’s else. Un- der the space marked Friday, Aug- ust 22 it says: “Pro Cap adhesive is superior.” Hmnmnomnmn. However, elsewhere I learned that today is the anniversary of * the founding of the Red Cross, in- ternational of course, at Geneva, Switzerland in 1864. Didn't have the faintest idea that it was so old. Al- so it is the birthdate of Oliver ‘ Wendell Holmes in 1809. To quote a line from “Born Yesterday” my personal God. On the shopping front, we have some interesting items, we think, and so let’s go see them — xx Shoes that aren't meant to be walked in sound pretty silly, but the Gertrudes, creatively styled for pre-walkers are not color in the rainbow, and se styles besides. ‘Course | realize in this warm climate the tiniest ones need shoes most of the time as much ‘as they need a hole in the head, but comes a time in the life of every woman — from six days to sixty years when she'd be em- barrassed to tears to be caught barefooted! That is the cue to go on down to the Children’s Corner and get a pair of these cute lit- tle sandals. They make such cute and original gifts now to thrill the mother-to-be into a regular izzy. Also at Children’s Corner, a ‘wonderful new slant on frilly fe-. male sun-suits. It’s @ three-cor- nered diaper adaptation that masquerades as a dress! Hard to describe but its best feature is that it won't ride up, and the ruffles aren't to keep the neck warm, or the hem to throttle its wearer. Better yet, of waffle pi- In ice cream. and lollypop colors with charming eyelet em- bealdecigdrio.

Al- we aren’t paid to advertise jucts by Mr, Campbell, for soup Campbell’s is best. One ean of cream of chicken soup, one ean of cream celery soup, mixed ‘well with one and a half cans of milk and cream mixed half and half. Then whip in one-half a can of very dry, very good sherry. Chill cold as anything and serve with hot Cuban bread or croutons. Extra good with a sprinkle of 'y on top, See why I'm so full? "8 good! ~*e* A visit to the Altman Furniture Company always gives me the urge to go home, pile all the furniture in the y and hold a neighborhood Wiener Roast around the resultant benfire. ‘Then with this arsonist bent f.!- filled, back te see Hy and re- furnish the whole place. Key West's newest and most modern furniture store on upper Duval Street has furniture to de- light both the new and the ex- perienced home maker. Let me tell you about a bedroom that caught my eye — It consists of a lovely Swedish medern bed, twin night stands with three roomy drawers each, double dresser and vanity — all im termite proofed fine solid oak finished in antique ivory over- laid with the finest misty gold In barely defined stripes. A Ro- man motif is suggested in the square green scroll which also forms the drawer handies on all the pieces. j When | decorate my model | Dream Home -- one bedroom will be furnished thus. in the meantime, 1 can only dream — ia eS Now that I've heard a few snide} remarks around here anent Horo-| 22 and before today, January and October are lucky months for you and Suoday is your lucky day. | the farm and garden bul-| : Hf you haven't already cut | hay, cultivated, sprayed plant-| fall beans, cucumbers and to-/ toes, potatoes and root crops.) why, you just missed the boat. | ever you can still plant fall! beds end flowers, lettuce and vegetables, You cap also; prune graft and kill your farm meat. On the bright side, it will be good fishing on the 26th, 27th and 30th. How the people who write these Almanacs keep up on all this, is beyond me. They must be very smart men. x ek For the youngest traveler, Bun- ny Bear Inc. has invented a new gadget called a “Carry Crib.” This is the same company you know as the manufacturers of over 150 nursery necessities, and is therefore well known. Let me tell you of this latest 20th cen- tury miracle sold exclusively at Ideal Togs. It’s a Martian like gadget with no resemblance whatsoever to a flying saucer. However, it is of a strong tubular steel frame with +a gleaming white hard finish enamel. The side panels are made of durable Good. Year Venyifilm that won't crack, wrinkle or stiff- en. New plastic screening keeps out bugs, and other insects. The smooth, non-chaffing Good Year Venylfilm covered mattress is vable and reversible. Al- $0, it is America’s only crib mat- tress with a bonded guarantee. It clea asily with a sudsy cloth, and is filled with amazing Tuf- flex, a fibre cushing that is ‘firm and resilient. It has a firm bot- tom panel inserted under the mattress for additional posture support. Sizes 18 wide and 36” long or 23” wide x 45” long de- Rending on style. No assembling is necessary. That was a. long winded de- scription — now let me tell you its uses: Baby can nap outdoors in it in safety and comfort. Top is fully zippered on three sides for easy access. It’s rust proof (and in this climate that’s some- thing) long lasting plastic screen, ing top and sides with the Carry Crib. Visiting is a pleasu ind perfect too, for picnics or at the beach. It’s so light — so easy to carry or store in the car. Every family needs one for the tiniest Travel- er! x *« One of the nicest people I know, and friend to most of Key West is Mrs. Willie Mae Simmons, sweet little proprietress of the Children’s Corner. I have only known Willie since she took over the place from Mrs. Thompson, but she has been very sweet to me. The first words on entering her place on these sweltering days is always, “How about a Coke,” and that’s music, friends! So now I am terribly sorry to hear that she is a Star Boarder out at the Monroe County Hospital recovering from major surgery. I intend to get out there to see her, and I think maybe she'd like to see her other friends too, because the news is good and she’s already chipper and laughing again. Hope she’s back home again real soon, | and back at the Children’s Corner | with the welcome, “Hi Jaxon, have | a Coke.” It’s Willie I miss, not the coke, honest! RoR Lots of folks think that the Chic store on upper Duval Street is just for the women folk, and nothing could be farther from the truth. They have nice looking slacks, cubera jackets, shorts, and the very newest and latest of Hallmark shirts in a fine Acetate and Rayon in long sleeves and dark colors for Fail. Also other shirts in mad loud cotton flannel plaids. Or course Chic has more clothes and accessories still for the ladies, and in the “What's New” department are nice new pedal pushers of a firm cotten in bright solids and black and that wonderful fuller fabric in dark plaids. These are the knee length pants with the nipped-in leg we all like so much. We also want to tell you the sale will end this weekend, and they are really going to town te sell all the summer stock. Some of the dresses on sale have been in stock only a little ever a week, but the new are expected me- | mentarity and Chic will then have bins for the newest and latest fall styles. Remember, Chic — uptewn on Duval. xx Against all popular conceptions of Psychoanalysis, is the report a conference of 24 psychologists on “Conditioned Neuroses” held under} the auspices of the N. Y.

Dalton, and others, prepared the favors for the BPW convention, some of them miniature sailors holding semaphore flags which spell out the theme of the meeting, “The Ramparts We Build.” Left to right are the Misses Joan Knowles, Carol Dalton and Millicent Taylor with Mrs. Dalton, far right. Junior Debs Aid BPW Committee In Making Convention Theme Favors Thanks to the faithful aid of sev- &’—$$@&@& — —_——_—_. eral Junior Debs, the special favors are ready for the Business and Professional Women’s Clubs con- vention here Saturday, The 270 jaunty ‘sailors with their semaphores signaling the BPW’s national theme of the year, The Ramparts We Build,” will honor not only one of Key West’s major attractions, the Navy, but also the banquet speaker, Rear Admiral Irving T. Duke, as well as the patriotic theme. For the luncheon, the special favors will also be typical of Key West. They are rum- ba dancers in a variety of costume ‘colors, each with maracas of paper- wrapped garbanzo beans, to make them even more Latin. Both sets of favors required long hours of work, especially on the part of the -young helpers— Carol Dalton, Millicent Taylor, and Joan Knowles, They painted the puckish faces of the sailors and the glamorous faces and hair of the rumba girls, pasted the sailors’ hats at a rakish angle, designed for the sailors some well-shined (if large) black oilcloth shoes, painted 540 signal flags, and rolled maracas for the dancers.

Time to go and start week-ending, be seeing you around, Jaxon.—(Advt.) they were busy filling the nut cups | for the banquet, which are small sea bags to accompany the sailors. The favors committee expressed deep gratitude for this use of the girls’ vacation time, which they didn’t seem to mind giving. Mem- bers of the committee who worked on the favors are: Mrs. Dora Dalton, chairman, Mrs. Blanche Miller, Mrs. Gladys Merritt, Mrs. Catherine McManus, Mrs. Marian PHONE: Citizen Office, 1933 Wedding Rehearsal Party Honors Miss Joan Porter And Atte is Decorations in yellow and lav-*- and a floral centerpiece of in the chosen bridal shades utilized as the color scheme event which took place at 812 South Street.

MAID'S NIGHT OUT By RAYMER “The Brigand” at the San Carlos Cloak and dagger stories from the pen of Alexander Dumas make swashbuckling movies. This one is especially swordbristling. New Hollywood meteorite, An- thony Dexter, emulates Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. He parries a neat sword, dances gracefully, twid dies his moustache with savoir faire and does it in double time. That is, he portrays two men, the king of a Morrocan country and the king’s unrecognized half. brother, a desert roamer, who has a way with blondes. In fact, the wife of an ambassador who hasn’t forgotten the brigand, fol- lows him into his tent after being rescued from raiders and insists on stirring up the ashes of a once fiery romance. The jealous hus- band finds them, and in the duel which follows, the couple die. The brigand is seized, but saved from death because he is a double for the king. At first he is order- ed in exile in Portugal, but a plot against the king brings needs for his service as a substitute on the throne. By this time-you have an idea of how intricate the story is. A matters. After plot and counter- plot and sub-plot, the plotters come to no good end.. «the brigand is recognized as a true heir to the crown and wins » sceptre and the princess. It’s all done in glowing color Most of the faces are new, but old standbys like Anthony Quinn, as the villain, and Ian MacDon- lad as a court attendant, move smoothly in the drama. It’s pretty hammy acting in general, Drexel in particular, but over-exaggers- tion in the grand manner is ex- pected to be part of any Dumas Novel made into a movie.
